when I had knee surgery bc I started feeling anxious and depressed that I wouldn't be able to walk again or workout. I went through intense physical therapy and it was painful.. What made me even think of getting on it was in 2003 and 2004 for about 3 months straight I was...

I have been taking Zoloft for about 10 years now for my OCD. It has helped me tremendously deal with some of those repetitive and ruminating thoughts. While I still have the tendency to revert back to old habits, I am at least able to be myself a whole lot more. The one thing...

as i've mentioned in other stories, i truly believe that my medications have saved my life. i've been on zoloft for about ten years now, and it's done absolute wonders for me. i used to be trapped and paralyzed within my mind, but now i'm finally free to actually be me. no, it's...

His sickness was at the center of everything my family did when I was growing up. I was chronically depressed. I spent 7 years in therapy and learned to cope. I always, however, returned to being depressed. In 1993, a friend mentioned that he was taking Zoloft. He said it was...

hello c:
i have been taking Zoloft for about 2 or 3 months now and it seems to help but some odd things have been happening since i started taking it.
i've been getting random pains that feel a bit like growing pains and they happen all over my body.
i'll have the pain in my...

so edgy and jittery but it lifted and I started to feel ok. By 5 this afternoon I felt awesome. Awesome is abating somewhat but probably from being tired. I hope tomorrow morning goes better than today.

zoloft and feeling very anxious. Anyone else have this problem. Supposed to go to 50 mg. in a week....scared!! Any responses would be greatly appreciated, anyone with similar experiences, etc. Thank You

Celexa stop working for me. Maybe because I still can not deal with what cause my depression to begin with. Anyway my doctor switch me to zoloft. It's been only one week, I guess I feel a little difference. Is zoloft better than celexa?

and somedays off.
I try taking zoloft when I know I am going to have a stressful day or I am stressing and it works fine even though it makes me a tiny bit tired.
Is it true that if you stop taking it daily it doesn't work? Am I feeling the placebo effect? I feel it working...

I guess everyone's situation is unique. I'm a 34 year old female and I've had a panic disorder all my life. Sometimes it's been manageable, other times it has made normal functioning impossible. I have been prescribed prozac, aurorix and valium before with no positive effects but...

I've been on it for 5 months now, maybe less. At first I felt it do wonders for me but lately my mind has only gotten worse. I don't feel happy at all unless I'm high on narcotics. I'm not addicted to pills by any means, just addicted to that happy warm feeling of feeling...

The side effects hit me about 5 hrs after I took the pill! Severe nausea, jaw clenching, jittery, and I'm tired but feeling "awake" at the same time! My mom said I have to stick with it and wait for the symptoms to stop! Blah!!

to an upset stomach to horrible discomfort of heart burn and ear aches. I'm
Actually enjoying the new found pleasant dreams and sudden burst f hyperactivity, I found myself dancing and singing. Coupled with frequent physical activity, I feel Zoloft has been quite positive for...

I am a 39 year old lady who is very successful in business, I have two beautiful children and a loving husband, regardless of this I have a story to tell about how I started Zoloft and then a diary of the side effects I am having whilst trying to stop – I hope that this helps...

Hi everyone. Just started on 50 MG eight days ago. I was told it would take a few weeks to kick in, but I can feel the difference already. My body and brain are finally at ease. I have this wonderful feeling of being protected. It feels wonderful. I can't remember the last...

for a few weeks now. I find that I am unmotivated to do anything. My psychologist asked if I thought it was the medication or the grieving...I honestly do not know. I do know one side effect that I am is 99% sure is the Zoloft...my libido is gone. For the time being...this is...

I just started Zoloft 5 days ago...it seems to be helping some. But my mind is foggy, I get headaches, my mood is up and down, hoping it will help my anxiety and panic attacks...all I know is that starting anti depressants sucks. To be honest I wasn't even depressed prior life...

for a bit under a year and I just started taking riddalin.
My doctor was a bit on edge about prescribing it for me, but my parents pushed for it. I feel like they have more control over what goes in my body than I do. Not that they're doing anything wrong; they're doing what...

I was diagnosed with an Anxiety Disorder when I was 9 and it got really bad when I was in junior high. I started seeing a psychologist and she prescribed me Zoloft. I have never been better. I've been taking it for over 5 years now. Thank god for it.

I am a 35 yr old mother of four. My oldest son is 18, my daughter is 9, and the twins are 2 1/2. Lately I've been feeling like my life has no purpose and I'm doomed to just tread water forever. Today is the first day on Zoloft. I'm hoping that this will be a new beginning.

I take Zoloft and Lithium both. Zoloft for my depression and Lithium to treat my bi polar disorder. Lithium makes me kind of drowsy so it's good that I have the Zoloft to give me engery that I need. Both of these medicines work great for me a very good combination.

I weaned myself off for the past 5 months and now have completely stopped for 3 weeks or so. I am kind of freaking out, I think all my anxiety is coming back. But I don't want to take it again. I decided to gradually wean myself off, after consulting my doctor about stopping...

I am no longer on Zoloft and am leaving this group soon. I thought I would share my experience before leaving though.
I am fifteen years old, and have been depressed most of my life. About six months ago I was prescribed Zoloft after a particularly bad spell. I was taking a...

so I stopped taking my Zoloft and now I'm back in this spiral of depression and I cant find the motivation to start taking it again I just see no reason right now it feels like i will never be better and it hurts

something about the severe panic attacks that I have been having, as well as the depression I have been battling for many years, but refused to get help for.
I was diagnosed with major depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
I am a mother of 3, a student, and a wife of a police officer...

and the very first night I had a panic attack. I'm unsure of the medicine because since i've started I have hardly ate anything. I have alot of days where I feel off "not normal" and today def was one of those days. The doctor prescribed it because I have anxiety, panic attacks...

morning like 'what's the point', which was odd because I'm taking this for anxiety not depression. Also felt groggy first 2 hours awake again. Felt briefest surge of panic an hour before the grogginess lifted. Woke up last night again.

I've been up and down with dosage for the past couple years. I had a bit of a rough go of things recently so I was bumped up to 150, and I've been doing a lot better since. I still get symptoms of anxiety/depression occasionally, but they are much more manageable.

for depression and anxiety. I have two children who recently moved out and are getting married next year. Hubby also wants to move from TN to Florida next year so my anxiety is awful. My GP also prescribed Xanax 1mg in case I have a bad attack while starting the Zoloft. As of...

alcohol with it and expect to sleep all night. Staying at 25mg and it's working for me. Felt briefly anxious in a meeting because I started thinking 'what if I had a panic attack now'. Simple solution there was to get distracted fast.

I just started taking Zoloft a few weeks ago. I have already noticed a difference and am much happier *taking for depression/anxiety*...
The negative side effects I have had are jaw clenching/teeth clenching *which causes headaches*, and not sleeping as well. Positive side...

I have not took any anti-depressants in a couple years. I have taken Xanax for sleep and Ritalin in mornings as I am ADD. Recently I have no energy, don't want to get out of bed, no motivation, agitated, depressed and racing thoughts. So I decided to get back on anti...
